Our take on the ASUS VP229Q 21.5 Full HD LED Monitor
The ASUS VP229Q is a 21.5-inch Full HD office monitor with an IPS panel, 75 Hz refresh rate and both HDMI and DisplayPort inputs. It adds built-in speakers, a headphone jack and VESA mounting, which many budget monitors in this size skip. It suits desk work, study and light home use rather than gaming or color-critical editing. Against similarly sized rivals it trades high refresh rates and USB hubs for a simple, low-power panel that is easy to mount and connect.
- IPS panel with wide viewing angles
- HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA inputs
- Built-in speakers and headphone out
- VESA mountable and light at 2.9 kg
- Low power draw at 12 W in use
- No height adjustment or pivot

Questions and answers
- Is the ASUS VP229Q good for gaming?
- Only for casual play. It runs at 75 Hz with a 5 ms response time and no adaptive sync, so fast shooters will show motion blur and tearing compared with gaming monitors.
- Can I mount it on a monitor arm?
- Yes. It has a VESA mount and weighs 2.9 kg with the stand, so most arms and wall brackets handle it easily.
- Does it have built-in speakers?
- Yes, plus a headphone output. The speakers are fine for calls and casual video but limited for music.
- What ports does it have?
- One HDMI 1.4, one DisplayPort 1.2 and one VGA input. There are no USB ports.
- Can I adjust the height?
- No. The stand tilts only. For height and pivot you need a VESA arm or a different stand.
- Is it sharp enough for text and spreadsheets?
- Yes. Full HD at 21.5 inches gives a pixel density around 102 ppi, which keeps text crisp for documents and browsing.
